Great food at reasonable prices served by courtliest staff I can highly recommend this restaurant.

Awful food. We got cheeseburgers. Ordered medium, served cold and so beyond well done, they were black. Very small portions of fries were barely warm. The place was full with many of the clientele being very elderly. The atmosphere was like a nursing home than a sports bar and staff looked uncomfortable. Honestly, I cannot recommend this place to anyone if they can't even serve up a burger. read more

Popped into the medway cafe again, this time for dinner, and it was just as good as my last visit. The waitress was very attentive, checking in regularly and keeping our drinks topped off. I ordered the Sheppard's pie on this visit which was packed full of sirloin beef chunks, they certainly did not skimp on the meat and pack it full of fillers. The potatoes on top were delicious with just the right amount of crispness on them. Another delicious meal. And I look forward to visiting again in the future read more

New owners. Food is average and same with service. Busy place. Have couple of burgers and beer/martini.

Fun atmosphere and lots of menu options. Bar seemed to be busy, but we got a table easily. Enjoyed my cape cod Rueben. It was huge and took half home. Seems to be a family favorite! read more

Ambiance is always good. Cool place with posters and music. Waitress super nice. Not her fault she doesn't make the stuff. Food not good. Chicken Fajitas for kids was just regular non spiced chicken with a full size tomato and lettuce. Zero taste. Waitress was nice said dessert on the house because of the meal. Cookie sundae with vanilla ice cream. Kids couldn't eat it as the cookie was raw not cooked, but nobody wanted to say anything at this point. Wife had chicken sandwich- no top bun I guess you're supposed to cut the chicken and the bread and make your own sandwich since it would take too long for the kitchen staff to do. Panko fish was ok - very average nothing to come back for. $8 Alagash was good and angry orchard But seriously an $8 beer is stupid Honestly most everyone on the car ride home felt nauseous. And all for $116 + tip (which was 20% no matter what) read more

Ever since Medway Cafe changed ownership several months back, I am reluctant to go there. I have only gone back 3 times. Which before it was every other week. The new owners very shortly after taking over up the prices on just about everything by an average of $2.00 per meal. They dropped the rewards program and because they did not inform us of this, points that could have been transferred to their old sister restaurant Boston Tavern were lost because there was a 30 day window to do it in. The food is good, but Boston Tavern who has almost the exact menu aside from specials, still has the old prices of the original Medway Cafe. Plus Boston Tavern throws in a complimentary side of Baked beans with their Burgers on top of the side you get with it. You will do better at Boston Tavern and they really pack the sandwiches and Burgers. read more

The food is uneatable. The wings were raw and cold. Also my eggplant parm (which is hard to mess up) was so gross. It was uncooked long slices of eggplant on ziti and then just sauce and cheese. As bad as it gets! I threw it all away. The only saving grace is that the beer was nice and cold. read more

Prepare yourself for yet another episode of phenomenal food, utterly tanked by abysmal service. Let's start with the basics--assuming you actually manage to get a table, this place, you are clearly the last priority. It doesn't matter how good the food is when the service is this indifferent. Save your time, energy, and patience, and spend your money where you're actually valued. read more

The food was so dry and overdone. It had no taste whatsoever. What isn't shown is the California cub flatbread it was gross and cold actually everything and cold. Our service was great. She was a wonderful waitress. Was not her fault that the food was terrible. read more

Recently went to Medway Cafe with a group of 12. First, the host staff was most accommodating, friendly and met our expectations. Second, Staci, our server was the best. Engaging, thorough and always there when you needed her. Finally, the food was great. Twelve people having lunch, all in agreement that the quality, quantity and delivery were all spot on. read more

This is the pinnacle of a good pub: Cozy, casual, friendly, amazing food. Met someone for lunch on a weekday. Greeted and seated immediately in a large booth. Service was great! I ordered Abbey's Awesome Fish Tacos, which lived up to their name: crispy fried haddock in warm tortilla shells with jack cheese and chipotle coleslaw. Took half home and enjoyed them again that evening! My date had The Platter: Fried Clams, scallops and haddock served with French fries, rings and coleslaw. This chef sure knows how to fry seafood! Non greasy, crispy, fresh tasting and piping hot! I had onion rings with my tacos and they were among the best I've ever eaten. The menu is pretty extensive, so can't wait to return and try something else! Get in your car right now and go there. You won't be sorry! read more

The best I can say is that they do try! I've been here twice and both time the food was mediocre at best. The staff is great, but the food is garbage, and not even hot garbage, more like Luke warm garbage. I am a very amateur cook at home and I could not imagine being a cook as my job and putting out the food they serve. This place is for Keno, drinks and the staff...skip the food! read more

Food is good especially the onion rings . You end up not getting what's advertised on the menu . For instance, ordered a Reuben and there was no sauerkraut and enough 1000 island dressing to feed an ant . It was ok though , pastrami was good . Next item . Grilled cheese burger . The bread wasn't grilled, it was toasted, wtf ?!. Next , the porky pig pulled pork . It was salmon . I know that was a mistake but still gross . Beer and water were good . read more

I went for a late lunch today with my son. We got appetizers and I ordered the quesadillas and my son got the chicken parm which I tasted and that was good. The quesadillas on the other hand was horrible. I took a bite and it smelled so bad I couldn't eat it. Then my son took a bite and said he could smell it too. Bad cheese or bad chicken but not sure. I told the waitress and she put it on the bill anyway. We paid the bill and left. That use to be my favorite place. I've sent many people there and I travel from Walpole to go there but will not go again. Service was good but in my opinion they should have taken it off my bill or at least asked if I wanted something different. read more

Took an order to go. Not the first time. Macaroni salad comes with the meal. Take 4 bites and it is gone. Requested a 2nd since the original is small. An extra $3 charge.

My mom and I went here jan 14 2025 for lunch. Amazing food! The buffalo chicken dip was the best I had!! My mom who is very picky. Loved the fried clams. She said they were the best she ever had! That's a huge compliment coming from her. I had the mvp burger with onion rings! One of the best burgers I ever had. Our waitress was so nice. And the manager Sue came out a couple times to check on us. She was so nice as well! I can't wait to get back here. The place had a very cool vibe as well! I would give a million stars to this place!! read more

Service was fine. The food was not. I had the turkey dinner and my wife had the stuffed chicken special. Both were tepid in temp at best. Didn't want to send back to the kitchen, only way you can heat up is with microwave, and wasn't interested in that. I even asked for more gravy, which I got but was also just barely warm. Too bad, we have been coming here for years and this was not what we have come to expect. read more

This restaurant is simply fantastic. Workers are always super nice even though restaurant is always busy. Lots of seating area and super cool scenery. Buffalo chicken dip and the rest of the appetizers are also very good. Food always comes pipping hot and is so good. Chicken, burgers, onion rings, and fries are some of their best! read more

First time visit today for lunch with a friend. Nice clean pub feel, very friendly staff and a good choice of dishes. Had a burger and beer ..... nothing too fancy but arrived hot and quickly. Decent size crowd for Friday lunch. The bar are has a nice setup and a good amount of tables available. Definitely going to make the ride back to try something else on the menu. I recommend! read more

Dinner for six on a Wednesday night for my mother in law's birthday. Little did we know it was Italian night. Two entrees, 2 salads, 2 drinks (beer, wine, or nonalcoholic) and a small pizza for $25. Our waitperson was knowledgeable, attentive and friendly. We had penne ala rosa with chicken, chicken Parmesan, ricotta stuffed shells and sausage, Italian steak, and eggplant parmigiana. The penne and steak was very good. Parmesan dishes we ok. Pizza was tasty. We'll be back for meatloaf, burgers, wings and nachos. read more

Place has dropped off at a steady pace over the last couple of years. Keep hoping it'll get back to what it was pre covid but it's still trending in the wrong direction using the last half dozen visits as my reference point. Usually I leave Yelp alone but I'm hoping something will get their attention because it feels like they've either had some serious turnover in the kitchen that has led to this decline or they've gotten lazy due to there being minimum competition in the immediate area. It's to the point where the gf and I have decided to take another reviewer's advice and forego the five minute drive to the Cafe to take a twenty minute drive to the Ashland Ale House and try them out. I'm going to stick with the highlights of our most recent visit, but mind you that it has followed quite a few other mediocre meals. Service was on point, so no problem there. Drinks came quick though that's no surprise as it was a middling crowd and they had what looked to at least eight servers milling about. Got the grilled chicken special, which was simple grilled chicken breast with onions, peppers and mushrooms and topped with cheddar served with garlic mashed. Chicken appeared to have been thrown on the grill with zero cleaning as there was some chewy fat and gristle that had to spat into a napkin. Also found some purple chicken later due to blood in the meat on the piece that I took home. Takes 10 seconds, if that, to trim those up prior to throwing them on the grill. Grilled veggies were fine. Potatoes were gluey and I could see it as the plate was being put down. Prime rib came to the table barely warm even though it was ordered medium. No side of au jus or horseradish, and the plate only had whatever liquid that came out of the meat... which wasn't much. The gf isn't a Jus fan so she wasn't bothered but it goes to the appearance of not caring about what you're letting leave the kitchen on a $30 plate. Fries were solid. Extremely simple dishes with basic, easily avoidable mistakes. Used to love this place for it's consistency but that hasn't been on deck in arguably three years. It's unfortunate. read more

When I first walked into the Medway cafe it was very dark they could have added light but when I looked around it I saw a bunch of comics and a bunch of old movies I'm In the Gen-Z Generation so I don't understand the films but they looked very nice the Staff were amiable I ordered the grilled cheese burger It was good I asked for medium rare but it seemed rare I might have been overthinking but the flavors were good my french fries were crispy overall not bad read more

The quality's gone a little downhill, but still a step above a chain. The wings and subs are great and the dinners are a hefty portion! I was surprised to find that they were charging a container fee to order takeout on their website... I know times are tough but that rubbed me the wrong way. I have a hard time believing they'd charge if i asked for one after a sit-down meal. read more

I went there for father's day this weekend. I arrived a little after 1PM as the majority of the lunch crowd left. It was 25% filled with the majority of folks at the bar. We ordered 2 salads, Philly Cheese Steak, and Chicken Piccata special. After 45 minutes waiting, I had to keep hand signaling the waitress to come over to find out where our meals were. The answer was, almost ready. After another 45 minutes we got up and left. As we walking out the manager came running out and told us to wait it was almost done. No actual apology. Too late! This was very disappointing given this is/was my favorite restaurant. We go out to eat at that restaurant about 25 -30 times/year. read more

Always great experience from the staff to the dish, we have never had a negative experience....this place knows their expectations

Honestly didn't even make it to the food to judge for this review because the bartenders were so bitchy I didn't have the patience to finish my drink. For reference, I just came from my grandfathers wake with my brother and my mother. My brothers ID is expired but he ordered a new one and in the meantime all he has is his paper ID. He was denied service after seeing his grandfathers corpse. after being explaining our situation to the bartender she showed no regrets or remorse saying she has her own family to worry about. great service. read more

Great bartender, friendly and enjoys her job! Great place to try! We had the clam chowder, lobster roll, onion rings and steak egg rolls.

Horrific service with a manager who caused an incredible scene and making an unfounded accusation of a family leaving a wake.

Disappointed. We have eaten there 25+ times and never had a meal we would describe as 'very good'. It's mediocre food that is probably $2-$5 more expensive than it should be (for every thing on the menu). The wait staff, with few exceptions, are attentive, smile when they greet you and do appear to want to provide good service. Like most places today, they seem under staffed and don't verify the food they are serving agrees to the order (like no pickles/no tomatoes or other 'seemingly simple' customization). The problem is in the kitchen, not the waitstaff. The decor is fine, like the menu, it's unchanged basically for perhaps 15 years. My wife and I have a better experience simply sitting at the bar having a burger and a beer. That is their sweet spot as a food joint. read more
